MITRE ATT&CK

T1204 Malicious Link T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The PDF file contains embedded, executable scripts, as indicated by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' and 'PDF_XFA_SCRIPT' heuristics. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent, specifically identifying it as 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81'. The embedded script likely serves to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities.

Heuristics 6

XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT

PDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
